let me ask everyone this: is there a way that I can make an edit in one place and it will apply to all other places in the code that have the same characteristics? For example, I have hundreds of images that have text in them that I need to be deleted, do I have to go to every line of code for this image or can I do something that will apply to every image?

Notepad++ is a good free Windows-based HTML editor. It is very light-weight, runs fast, and colors your code automatically.

However, if you prefer to use an IDE, nothing free beats Aptana (Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux). Amaya has a built-in W3C validation checker which is mildly handy. But the interface is awful and its built-in preview feature is worse than IE6. Netbeans is a good IDE as well.

The IDEs listed, however, do not include a WYSIWYG editor. So you will have to edit all code and images by hand. For any of your image manipulation needs, download GIMP. It's a very powerful image manipulation program that is cross-platform and free.

Notepad++ is a fine editor. But it's only an editor. An editor does not replace an IDE. If all you plan to do is quick edits or a quick feature, then an editor is the way to go. But if you are going to sit down for a few hours for a development session, then it's best to find an IDE that you like and roll with that.

Furthermore, Notepad++ is not available on Linux which is instant fail.
